Hello,Just finished Lab 4 of the Cisco Press R&S Lab Workbook and had
some questions: 1. Section 1.1 asks to configure FR on R2,R4,R5 & R1 and
says that subinterfaces are permitted on R2 only I configured multipoint
on R2 but the solution uses physical intf. Woudl a mp be valid? 2.
Section 2.1 asks to configure loopbacks as part of Ospf. And also other
Ospf tasks and a Virtual link taks requirements. The solution has
multiple mistakes (If I may have spotted them): a. why is the loopback
intf. configured as point-to-point? Nowhere is there a requirement to see
them as a /24 anywhere?? Have they asked us ?? b. why does the serial
intf. have ip ospf network point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
configured (ex. on R2) Nowhere have they asked us to do that? I feel they
should be left as default network type and get that to work.(using the
neighbor cmd. and ip os prio 255 on the hub) c. Why is the Bri0/0 on R3
configured as no peer neighbor-route? They have not asked us to do this.
I understand why we would use the command but have they asked us - No !!
d. Why is only virtual-link configured b/w R3 and R2? Why not b/w R3 and
R5? If the FR b/w R3 and R2 goes down, how will vlan33 on R3 get to area
0 on R5?? Section 2.3 asks us to configure Rip only on e0/0 of R4 but the
solution does not have the passive-interface default command and a no
passive-interface e0/0 on R4? If this is not needed on R4 then why in the
preceding section for Eigrp regarding the same type of question, the
passive-intf. cmd. is used? These are what I have found upto the IGP
section. I still have to go over the rest of the solutions for Lab 4. My
only problem and the only reason why I ask these questions is: This book
was written by a Lab Proctor (still a valid proctor, I think)....If he
has this kind of solutions, then with what I have learnt so far is
pretty much useless....I would flunk badly in the Lab. Or is it just an
overisight by the authors?? Please tell me it is. Thank you.Sincerely.
